ABC Wednesday: "M"-The Mighty Mississippi

One of the pluses about living in St. Paul is the proximity of the Mississippi River, only about 6 blocks from my home. The photos above have been taken in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. To view more ABC posts from around the world, click here.

We met the miniture Husky in my post today while out on a hike and I thought it was the most adorable dog. I looked up the breed on line and found out that they are very active and probably a better match for younger people than me.

Didn't realise that the Mississippi reached that far north.Trivia: My GtGtGt Uncle John (Burlend) emigrated to Illinois, travelling from New Orleans to St Louis on your river and then turning right (starboard?) to Pike County.There's a book: A True Picture of Emigration by Rebecca Burlend
